Black Culture Discussion Thread

[AEA18]

From the US to China to Israel to Russia, governments are positioning resources - both civilian and military - in various African nations for various reasons. Jacqueline Luqman talks to Maurice Carney about who are the players on the continent, what do they want, what does this mean for the future of Africa and Africans, and why should we here in the US be concerned.

Brother, please give some context into why you share a hour long video lol. What is it about? People dont have time to watch a whole movie and dont know what the purpose of it is.

The purpose is explained in the first few minutes, but anyway, it’s a breakdown of a movie from a three dimensional perspective that shows how the so called black man that doesn’t capitulate to this society is behind enemy lines in this kingdom.

Side note, this video is not for emotional dudes or them “black woman is god” negroes.

My issue with it, is the "Astute Black Man" vs "The Liberal Interracial Couple", like that made it seem as if they person who created that piece is a "Conservative".

I will still check it out though

I rewatched that revolt summit with Killer Mike and nem and I been thinking about this since the first time I watched it. Something off about that chick Candace Owens. This was my first time really listening to her and seeing her.

She really seem like a white woman in a black girls body. Her tone, her body language, she's really like one of those middle age racist white women. Just souless. It was another black chick up there that was defending Trump and doing the whole black Republican nonsense but she still had some flavor to her. Candace Owens came off real strange.

It's not liberal from a political standpoint, more like an ideology standpoint.

Got my masters from a small hbcu. 90% of the baseball, softball, volleyball and soccer team was white.

yep...went to Jackson State for a year...volleyball and softball team had a fair number of white girls.

Been watching this guys vids since I seen a stand-up he performed like a week or 2 ago, and there honestly should be more open spaces for the convicted to speak about their experiences. Like a step further from lock down docs that shows life after for most. Some black paternal language but, being able to listen to his experience is appreciated. There should be more spaces, especially for the most subjugated of our society- like the homeless, undocumented, and especially the poor, to speak on their experiences. Everyone knows, but it's different socially to here from real people.

 

[layziegunts]

There is no other type of people that hate more than sellout black folks like Candace Owens. They disgust me to no end.

How do you guys feel about the Black Israelites?

Just curious.

-I don't understand the tribes...there's nothing I've heard in their breakdown that makes sense to me as far as the tribes...

for example:

Spoiler

THE TWELVE TRIBES

1. YAHAWADAH = יהודה = JUDAH = NEGROES/AFRICAN AMERICANS

2. BANYAMAN = בנימן = BENJAMIN = WEST INDIES/ JAMAICA TO BELIZE

3. LAWAYA = לוי = LEVI = HAITIANS

4. SHAMAIWAN = שמעון = SIMEON = DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

5. ZABAWALAN = זבולן = ZEBULON = GUATEMALA TO PANAMA

6. AHPARYAM = אפרים = EPHRAIM = PUERTO RICANS

7. MANASHAH = מנשה = MANASSEH = CUBANS

8. GAD = גד = GAD = NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS

9. RAAHWABAN = ראובן = REUBEN = SEMINOLE INDIANS

10. NAPATHALAYA = נפתלי = NAPTHALI = ARGENTINA AND CHILE

11. AHSHAR = אשר = ASHER = COLOMBIA TO URUGUAY

12. YASHASHAKAR = יששכר = ISSACHAR = MEXICANS

why are they separated that way? what makes them different from each other? especially given how ppl ended up in these places.
why are certain native American groups their own tribe but certain ppl from certain countries (which def have large native American populations and large black populations) aren't included in the same tribes??

west Indians include ppl from English speaking islands but also dutch, french and Spanish. for example, pr and dr are west indian countries.
we specifically got the term west indian from Columbus being in dr and referring to the native americans there (tainos) as Indians, from my memory (so there's that, ninjahood. dr is a west indian country). those same native americans inhabited a lot of the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Haiti, pr, etc.

i'm just saying. I don't think it makes sense off of that alone. going further into that, argentina is a white country, Colombia, Venezuela and brazil (which brazil isn't included?) have large black populations with brazil having the largest outside of Africa and larger than any African country other than nigera. period etc.

some of them seem to say some crazy stuff about Africans from memory that I just disagree with as a descendent of enslaved Africans.

other than that, I love the...I don't care attitude they have and the fact that a lot of them can go toe to toe with anybody.
personally I would debate one but i'm not doing that in front of ppl that don't look like me.

 

[debso]

that's why I always say that we need knowledge of self. we don't understand who or where we are in this world. there are many of us and its not some online thing that ppl like ninjahood say it is. i'm not the only one that understands all of this and there are many of us that are vocal on and offline but not enough of us.
they robbed us of everything. we need to take all of that back. there's strength in numbers and there's something to be said about the fact that we all speak so many different languages and come from so many different areas. we can use that to our advantage.

its important. its being used against us right now. we have to wake up.

one thing I do want to research more are black ppl inhabiting this part of the world before the transatlantic slave trade.
I want to know who those tools belonged to that predate the Bering strait that they found like last year or the year before or so.
i DO think black ppl lived in the same areas as native americans at some point predating the transatlantic slave trade.

i believe this because black ppl travelled from Africa to Europe and asia and we know this to be a fact. we can see it in papau new guinea for example and in Australia, india, etc.

i know its a wall of text but i feel pretty strongly about all of this stuff.

It seems that she's of the line of "thought" that if I can look past these specific issues and/or have experienced things differently then EVERYBODY else should/could do the same.
Her different experience has lead her to overlook "smaller" things and cast them aside. She may look at it as if she's more focused on more "important" or the "major" issues. When listening to her I noticed that she makes quite a nest of comfort in telling "facts" that are true but then basing her stance on a false narrative

Did someone beat her up? That is quite unfortunate.

How do YOU feel about them?
I'd love to hear it coming from a white man's perspective.
